I want to thank you, dear friends, for reaching out and touching my heart during this difficult time. Your sweet and thoughtful comments are, and will always be cherished.

I've spent the week going for walks with Abby, pondering, reminiscing. It has done me good. I feel better, stronger. Spring is almost here, during my walks I've come across tiny green leaves peeking through the sidewalk cracks. They are timid as they feel their way. They are preparing for that special moment when everything will explode with color.Old Man Winter is waking up. He is getting ready to pack his bags and visit other parts of this world.

I find an anchoring force in Nature. The fact that no matter what happens, the circle of Seasons will not stop. Summer will follow Spring, Winter will bring snow. Our hearts may sing or cry, we may have money troubles or not, we may live or die, but Life itself goes on.

It's hard to feel sorry for oneself when there's so much more sorrow in other people's hearts. I came across this photo and everything fell into the right perspective...

Looking at this it's hard to imagine that the sun will shine again in Japan, and that it's people will go on, re-build and someday be able to see and enjoy the beauty of the Seasons.

Dear Alina, thank you so much for stopping by my blog after my long winter absence. It was good to hear from you.

My heart goes to you. Your mother is so beautiful, and your words touch my heart. The image of the Japanese woman and her child... how crushing to see it, and yet, it is also the epitome of love as well~ xxxVicki

Dear Alina,Such heartfelt words and images... It is difficult to mend a broken heart and spirit, but gently in time, the pieces can be mended... When my little sister died I thought I could never be truly happy again, but I did eventually find healing and inner peace. My heart goes out to you and the people of Japan. Much love,Jo. xx

Albert Schweitzer said "In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit" I thank you all!
